3 Bedroom Finca - Cortijo in Alhaurín el Grande
Description
Nestled on the north side of Alhaurín el Grande, just a short drive from the village and approximately 40 minutes from the airport, this stunning Spanish-style country property offers very good access, complete privacy, and breathtaking countryside and mountain views. Set on a fully fenced plot of approximately 5,000m², the house is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped and colorful garden, along with a wide variety of mature fruit trees, including citrus, avocado, walnut, grapevines, pomegranate, loquat, and fig (with over 90 trees in total).
The entire plot benefits from a drip irrigation system, and no insecticides have been used by the current owner. There is also ample space to grow your own vegetables, a true haven for garden lovers.
At the bottom of the plot, the property borders a natural stream within a protected nature area, further enhancing the peaceful and private setting. The house is a more than 100-year-old farmhouse that has been carefully restored, modernized, and extended, while retaining its charming rustic character.
The property is distributed over two floors. Upon entering, you are welcomed by an inviting entrance hall with access to both the main entrance and a south-facing terrace.
This terrace can be enjoyed all year round and features a lovely pergola draped in natural vegetation, creating the perfect space for outdoor living. To one side of the entrance hall is a fully fitted farmhouse-style kitchen with vaulted wooden ceilings, which flows into a cosy living and dining area complete with a traditional log-burning fireplace.
From here, a hallway leads to a guest toilet, a family bathroom with shower, and a comfortable twin bedroom. Further along, you will find a storage room, additional built-in wardrobes, access to the rear terrace and garden, and a second spacious and bright bedroom with its own wet room, located at the end of the ‘L’-shaped corridor.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with a second living room featuring wooden beams, wooden flooring, and another log burner, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. This level also includes a single bedroom with direct access to a spectacular south-facing terrace, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
The property is presented in very good condition and features air conditioning units, underfloor heating in the main ground floor areas, traditional wooden windows with shutters, and an abundance of character throughout. Additional Features • Fully registered with an AFO certificate (applied for) and biological septic tank. • Private parking for several vehicles. • Alarm system with security cameras and internet connection. • Multiple water sources: mains water, a natural spring, a private well, and irrigation community supply. • The natural spring and deposit tank is shared with four neighboring properties, who also have the right to draw water from it should they wish to do so. • Large water storage tank. • External storage areas.
Outside, next to the main terrace, there is a charming pond area, enhancing the peaceful and natural setting of this unique home. This is a truly special property, ideal as a permanent residence or a tranquil holiday retreat, offering charm, privacy, and authentic Andalusian living.

Alhaurín el Grande
Alhaurín el Grande is a well-established inland town in the Guadalhorce Valley, around 30–40 minutes from Málaga, the airport and much of the Costa del Sol. It offers a practical year-round base with everyday shops, supermarkets, cafés, schools, health services and local sports facilities, while the surrounding area is known for country properties, village homes and mountain views. Demand tends to come from both full-time residents and international buyers looking for more space than the coast typically offers, with access to golf, walking routes and nearby towns such as Coín and Alhaurín de la Torre.
Alhaurín el Grande offers a practical inland lifestyle with a year-round local community, a traditional town centre, everyday shops and cafés, and straightforward access to the Guadalhorce Valley, golf courses and walking routes. It suits buyers who want more space and a working Spanish town feel while staying within driving distance of Málaga, the airport and the coast.
Area scores
It is inland, but still within practical driving reach of Málaga Airport compared with deeper rural locations.
This is a substantial inland town, but it does not offer the pace, scale or urban variety of a true city.
This is an inland location and does not provide a beach or seafront way of life.
The everyday-town setup, housing range and year-round feel make it a practical option for many families.
This is one of its strongest points: it feels set up for real, year-round living rather than seasonal occupation.
Golf is accessible in the wider region, but the area itself is not defined by a golf-resort lifestyle.
It can work for second-home owners who like inland living, but it is less obvious for classic beach-holiday use.
It attracts overseas buyers, especially those seeking a more authentic inland base, but it is less internationally branded than the coast.
It has broad buyer appeal and useful access, but it is not among the most obviously high-profile market hotspots.
It has a strong sense of ordinary local life and feels more rooted than many resort-oriented areas.
The area has attractive homes and some larger properties, but it is not widely seen as a prestige address.
There is no marina-based lifestyle here; that is not part of the area's identity.
The area strongly suits buyers who want an inland Andalusian setting with countryside and hill views nearby.
Evening life exists in local-town form, but it is not a nightlife-led destination.
It functions well for day-to-day family life, but it is not especially defined by large-scale leisure-park appeal.
Outskirts and country areas can be peaceful, while the town itself is active and lived-in rather than sleepy.
Properties on the edges and in the countryside can offer good plots and breathing room compared with denser coastal areas.
There is likely to be interest from long-stay and some holiday renters, though demand is less obvious than in prime coastal zones.
As a sizeable town it offers everyday dining options, but it is not especially known as a destination dining hub.
A town of this size usually supports practical sporting options, though it is not especially known as a specialist sports base.
Buyers often get more space and practicality here than in prime coastal locations for similar budgets.
It has Andalusian character and a traditional town feel, though it is busier and more functional than a picture-postcard village.
The town centre supports day-to-day walking, although hillside and out-of-town homes are more car-dependent.
The inland setting gives access to walking country, though it is not as directly hiking-focused as higher mountain areas.
One thing we've noticed is that buyers who choose Alhaurín el Grande aren't usually looking for the typical Costa del Sol lifestyle. They're often looking for more space, a stronger sense of community and a slower pace of life, whilst still being close enough to reach the coast when they want it. It's a conscious trade-off, and for many people, it's one they never regret making.
